*Target (protein/gene name): New Delhi Metallo Beta-Lactamase
*NCBI Gene # or RefSeq#:
NCBI Gene#: 14858116
*Protein ID (NP or XP #) or Wolbachia#:
NC_021180.1
*Organism:
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Etiologic Risk Group : RG1
*Background/Disease Information:
For a century, modern society has relied on beta-lactam drugs such as penicillin-G to treat serious gram positive as well as gram negative bacterial infections. However, heavy reliance of these drugs has also selected for beta-lactamase synthesis as a form of an antimicrobial resistance mechanism in bacteria. Beta-lactamase cleaves the four-membered beta-lactam ring through hydrolysis, rendering it ineffective against infections. In conditions where antibiotic overuse is widespread, this spread of this mechanism via horizontal gene transfer has resulted in deadly versions of minor infections. A recently discovered beta-lactamase, New Delhi metallo beta-lactamase (NDM-1), resists most lactam-based inhibitors and is effective against a wide range of antibiotics of size and shape.


Essentiality of this protein: Essential in the presence of beta-lactam antibiotics such as ampicillin and penicillin to confer resistance
Complex of proteins: There are identical proteins Chain A and B for 3Q6X.
Druggable Target: Druggability index: 0.5 for Class A Beta Lactamase
